Fashionable Nonsense

Gian Cruz

What is Beyond Fashion?

Every art is delimited by its medium, mine by clothing. I used to say what I do is a minor art. Maybe its not so minor after all, but it is not fine art. I cannot pretend to do sculpture and make woman the ridiculous pedestal of my pretensions. To render clothing poetic, yes but one must preserve its dignity as clothing. - Yves Saint Laurent.

Is there anything beyond fashion? - Diana Vreeland.
